Chapter 240 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 9

Qingyu briefly recalled what the system had said, and feeling reassured, she tentatively asked, "Father, does the neighboring country have any designs on Chen Kingdom?"

Perhaps it was Rong Jinnian who caused her family's ruin?

That's terrible, isn't it?

Otherwise, she couldn't think of anything particularly tragic.

After hearing Qingyu's words, Emperor Chen sighed deeply and slowly said, "Yes and no. Recently, a hidden force within the country has been secretly colluding with its cronies, intending to overthrow my empire."

Qingyu was surprised, but also understood the situation somewhat; she just hadn't expected that court officials would be involved.

Emperor Chen continued, "I suspect that the person behind this force is Rong Jinnian. He came to Chen Kingdom on the surface to pay a visit, but in reality, he has great ambitions."

And in that dream... what Rong Jinnian did, was it true or not?

Upon hearing this, Qingyu frowned, her beautiful face showing a hint of disgust. "Does Father have any evidence?"

The best course of action is to put him in jail!

Emperor Chen shook his head, his gaze complex. He patted Qingyu's head, his face gentle. "There is no conclusive evidence yet, which is why I have been holding back. I didn't want to involve you in this, but now it seems I have no choice but to tell you. Rong Jinnian has his eye on you."

Mentioning this, Emperor Chen became somewhat annoyed. He had originally intended to keep Qingyu under his wing, but Rong Jinnian was aggressive and indeed someone who could not be dealt with casually. Emperor Chen could not keep an eye on him at all times, so he could only try his best to explain things to Qingyu.

Qingyu pondered for a moment, then calmed herself down and suggested, "How about this... I can get close to Rong Jinnian and find out what's going on, otherwise it will be difficult to catch him."

Emperor Chen paused for a moment, then blurted out, "As long as you don't think he's a good man, that's fine. I'm afraid that if you spend too much time with him..."

"No!" Qingyu interrupted Chenhuang without hesitation, her eyes firm, calming Chenhuang's flustered heart.

He smiled, his smile full of satisfaction, "My Yu'er has grown up..."

Ke Qingyu sensed a pang of sadness in her voice, and her eyes welled up with tears. She twitched her nose and said, "Father, rest assured, I will do my utmost."

Emperor Chen gently patted Qingyu's shoulder, "I know this is fraught with danger, but I believe in your abilities. Just don't be reckless if you encounter a crisis."

Qingyu truly felt her father's love. Her once carefree attitude became even more resolute. She smiled gently and said, "Your subject understands."

"By the way, I recently examined Li Mo. He has good literary talent and ability, but as for his character..." Emperor Chen pondered, somewhat undecided.

Qingyu smiled and replied, "Father, I have met Li Mo a few times, and I feel that he is a fairly upright person. Moreover, when I look into his eyes, I see a sincerity in them."

Emperor Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? Yu'er thinks so highly of him?"

Qingyu nodded slightly, “Father, the situation is complicated right now, and we need capable people. Li Mo and the other one might be able to help us.”

It would be best to fight Rong Jinnian and his group.

Emperor Chen pondered for a moment, "Since Yu'er says so, I will observe these two more carefully. However, I still have some concerns about your approach to Rong Jinnian."

Qingyu smiled and grasped Emperor Chen's hand. "Father, there is no need to worry. Your son will handle things carefully. Your son plans to first attract Rong Jinnian with his talent. After all, he seems to be a proud person, and he will definitely look at your son differently."

Emperor Chen nodded helplessly, "Very well, I'll do as you say. But remember, if you discover any danger, get out of there immediately."

Qingyu agreed and then took her leave.

On the way back to the room, the system couldn't help but get a little anxious, "You've walked into a fire pit yourself. You'd better stay away from Rong Jinnian."

Qingyu understood what the system meant and immediately smiled, "Are you worried that I'm love-struck?"

System: "...You know that, yet you still keep crashing forward? Actually, you only need to ensure your own safety; there's no need for you to take the initiative."

“Why not?” Qingyu retorted, sitting down gracefully and stroking her hair. Every move she made was quite alluring. After a long while, Qingyu said softly, “Besides, sometimes just because I don’t take the initiative doesn’t mean the other party won’t make a move. Since Rong Jinnian dared to covet Chen Kingdom, it means it wasn’t something that happened overnight. This is my country, and I don’t want it to exist.”

As she finished speaking, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

The system was speechless, and could only manage to stammer, "Whatever!"

At worst, we can just run away whenever the time comes, right?

After all, this world is a ticking time bomb, and it doesn't know when Rong Jinnian will suddenly awaken...

Li Mo could not keep what was happening in the palace a secret, and he went to see San Ye that very day.

At that time, the latter was training soldiers.

"You stay in the mansion every day, do you really plan to never leave the house for the rest of your life?" Li Mo complained helplessly.

San Ye smiled slightly, "No, it's not that. Wasn't I just waiting for you? Who did you come for this time? Was it for Princess Qingyu?"

Li Mo chuckled, then straightened his expression, "It can also be considered as doing this for Rong Jinnian."

Mitsuha raised an eyebrow, his resolute face showing interest. "Want to beat him up?"

It's simple and straightforward.

“No…” Li Mo thought for a moment and then voiced his guess, “Rong Jinnian had been in contact with Shao Mingyu before, and now he’s getting close to the princess. I suspect he has other forces at play. And recently, His Majesty…”

What follows is self-evident.

Upon hearing this, San Ye's expression turned serious. "If that's really the case, then the Chen Kingdom is in danger. What should we do now?"

Li Mo crossed his arms and paced back and forth, pondering a solution. "We don't have any solid evidence yet, so we can't act rashly. You intensify the training of the soldiers, just in case. I'll try to get close to the people around Rong Jinnian to gather more information."

Sanye nodded. "Okay, we'll do it your way. But you have to be careful, Rong Jinnian is no pushover."

"Yes, I know what I'm doing." Li Mo said and then turned to leave.

Mitsuha opened her mouth, wanting to ask about Qingyu's situation, but was too embarrassed to speak, and could only remain silent in the end.

------------

Qingyu had meticulously prepared a talent show to captivate Rong Jinnian with her beauty, but suddenly realized that it seemed all she could do at the moment was practice calligraphy…

If she were to directly seduce him, she wasn't sure if Rong Jinnian would be so desperate as to destroy her country and imprison her, since this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.

After thinking it over, Qingyu decided to try to get Shao Mingyu to come over that very day.

The latter, though bewildered, was also full of anticipation, and made sure to dress up before leisurely entering the palace.

Along the way, Shao Mingyu's heart raced, and she was completely disoriented. As the distance drew closer, she even slowed her breathing.

When she reached Qingyu, Shao Mingyu raised her eyes with suppressed emotion, but froze on the spot the next second—

Qingyu was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Her stunning beauty was evident even without makeup, her lips were naturally red, yet the gorgeous clothes made her even more radiant and captivating than ever before. Her noble and elegant demeanor made Shao Mingyu feel instantly ashamed of herself.

It also left him in a daze.

Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly as she looked Shao Mingyu up and down with a half-smile, then said gracefully, "Miss Shao, you've dressed up very carefully today."

Shao Mingyu swallowed hard, her cheeks flushed red. "Since the princess has summoned me, I must take it seriously."

She felt it wasn't taken seriously enough!

Who would have thought the princess was such a beauty!
